Android app crashes on launch due to constrain layout


I try to run my app but I keep getting this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.nachum.pap/com.example.nachum.pap.MainMap}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout

I implemented Constraint Layout as instructed but it didn't help

my xml:

Solution

  • You are using androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity, so you should use androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout instead of android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout.

    In the build.gradle file, replace implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3' by implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
